Do justice and trust affect acceptability of Indonesian social health insurance policy?

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate whether justice, trust in healthcare services, the confidence level of the health system and institutions, political party support and evaluation of healthcare services post-Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) affected policy acceptability (PA) in the health workers (n=95) and laypeople (n=308) sample.Design/methodology/approachThe authors performed a two-level, linear mixed-effects model to test the hypothesis that trust, perceived justice, confidence in healthcare services and national health system evaluation could impact PA in the health workers and laypeople sample. The authors calculated the effect sizes by comparing Level 2 variances and residuals of the null model and the random intercept model.FindingsThe findings suggested that healthcare workers with high concern for justice would be more likely to hold negative acceptability to JKN. The findings implied that health workers tend to associate JKN with unfairness. Also, JKN acceptability in laypeople sample was found to be positively associated with the evaluation of healthcare service post-JKN, whereas justice or political party support did not affect JKN acceptability. It might indicate that laypeople motives for joining JKN scheme could be essentially pragmatic.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors administered the questionnaire using an online platform and circulated it through social media and IMS, so that this research poses a problem of self-selection bias, which potentially leads to biased estimates. The authors also oversampled female participants, especially in laypeople sample.Originality/valueAiming at universal health coverage in 2019, JKN will cover almost 300m Indonesians and be one of the biggest single-payer national health insurance scheme in the world. The research might offer insight into how health workers and laypeople respond to the policy.

“…Meanwhile, healthcare workers (HCWs) demonstrated positive PA with health systems and institutions, as well as evaluation of healthcare services post JKN. All other measures had no significant correlations in both groups ( 56 ).…”

Mediation effect of trust on willingness to pay for health insurance among co-operative members in Tanzania

“…This claim seems inadequate since the process through which these variables affect willingness to pay for health insurance might be interrupted by other variables. There is a need to introduce an intermediating variable to explain the relationship among these variables better [ 99 ]. Thus, this study introduces trust issues as a mediator variable to explain this relationship.…”

“…These efforts can expand the scope of mental health services that are very much needed, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fair coverage of health services for all communities will encourage public confidence in the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic (Ayuningtyas, 2018), , (Zein, Putri, and Ridlo 2020). During this pandemic, one of the popular policies adopted by the world's big technology companies such as FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) is implementing a work from home policy.…”
